As an author and award-winning studio jeweler,

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my debut novel,

The Argentera and The Tales of the Six Arabesques.

I began with the desire to write about a six-hundred-year-old journal from Alsace, discovered in a secondhand bookstore by a jeweler (perhaps only slightly like me).

I really do love old books. I have been making my jewels for almost fifty years and because of that, The Argentera and The Tales of the Six Arabesques, of course, focuses on a lost enameled necklace.

“ Audacious, Unruly Jewelry ”

Linda Kaye-Moses

My work emphasizes the narrative

capacity of art in general, and

wearable objects specifically, with

a focus on mythic connections and

adornment as empowering object.

Many of my jewels are paired

with ‘nesting cases’, poetry, and drawings

that thematically frame and re-emphasize

the jewels themselves.

The rich texture of my jewels encourages

the viewer/wearer to read and re-read

them as stories to be lingered over

and unraveled.
